Synerzip: Putting Venture-Backed Companies on the Top Gear Date:   Wednesday , October 08, 2014 Not all entrepreneurs with a sizzling technology and venture capital funding succeed and become millionaires. The rate of failure among venture-backed companies is much higher than what the industry usually cites. There are few companies who return the original investment to their investors, and only a hand full of companies are able to produce substantial returns. While the big development firms chase only the Fortune 500 companies in the U.S. for offshore software development, the smaller venture-backed companies that need high quality software development are highly underserved. Knowing the pulse of this largely untouched market, the 2004 founded company, Synerzip, offers in-depth expertise in Agile software product development to venture funded small/mid-sized software companies focused on social media, mobile, big data analytics, cloud and enterprise software. In the midst of changing business realities, it\'s tricky for start-ups to accelerate their product road map and rapidly ramp up their R&D teams. Finding quality software professionals locally for global clients is an additional challenge. Synerzip becomes a development partner for these start-ups in their expansion stage to help accelerate their product road map. Synerzip attracts and retains the right mix of talent which is essential for building successful software development teams to match client requirements.
